Unfortunately, like all things, home heating systems don’t last forever—especially without regular maintenance visits from an HVAC professional. They break down and eventually need to be replaced.

In colder months, going without heat isn’t really an option. Beyond comfort, it can mean survival. And, being without heat can also pose a hazard to your house and fixtures. That’s why, when it comes to furnace and heater repairs in Runnemede, you shouldn’t settle with just any HVAC contractor. You should call Runnemede Plumbing Heating Cooling & Electric.

A Layman’s Explanation of How Furnaces Work

Understanding and appreciating your home’s heating system is the first step to getting the most out of it.

A furnace is the indoor piece of HVAC equipment used to distribute heat throughout a home or business. This is accomplished by warming air and then forcing it out to each room. As the heated air is circulated, it raises the temperature until the thermostat tells it to stop. The typical heating cycle goes something like this:

  1. Electricity, gas, propane, or heating oil, enters your home from either the utility's network or your home's heating fuel tank.
  2. When the interior of your home starts to cool, the thermostat sends a call for heat to your furnace.
  3. When the furnace is told by the thermostat that heat is needed, the burner ignites the gas in an enclosed metal vessel called a heat exchanger. The fuel byproducts are then expelled through your exhaust vents. This stops potentially toxic gases from mixing with your home’s interior air.
  4. A minute or so after igniting the gas, the blower pulls air into the furnace through your ‘return air’ ductwork, and then pushes it across your furnace's now-hot heat exchanger.
  5. The furnace's heat exchanger transfers the heat from the burning fuel inside it, to the air passing over it.
  6. Your furnace’s blower fan continues to push the warmed air throughout your home until your target temperature is reached.
  7. Once the desired temperature is reached, your thermostat turns off the gas valve and stops the flow of warm air.
Fun Fact: The word furnace is derived from the Latin word fornax, meaning oven. Since propane and gas furnaces weren’t invented until the 1880s, this word predates them by a millennia!

Boiler Services

If you have baseboard heat or radiators, you likely have a boiler system. Common in older homes, these systems use heated water or glycol to transfer heat to all the rooms in your home. When the heat is released into the rooms, the water returns to the boiler to be reheated and pushed back out. With longer lifespans than conventional systems, these units require a specialist to fix. Fortunately, our Runnemede HVAC experts are boiler repair and replacement experts.

What to Look for in a Heating Contractor

Your heating system is a major component of your home’s comfort systems. It represents not only safety in winter but also a significant financial investment. That’s why it’s vital that you select the right person to repair and maintain your furnace , boiler, or heat pump. Here in Runnemede, there are plenty of HVAC companies to choose from. The below six characteristics, however, are what separate the pros from more questionable heating contractors:

  1. Current Insurance and Licensing: In New Jersey, only contractors who meet certain training and skill requirements can obtain a license. The presence of a valid license is the best sign of a qualified HVAC contractor. To see if a potential HVAC company has one, check out their website. You’ll find ours at the bottom of our site, for instance. If you cannot find a license number, call the company and ask for it. If they cannot provide it, go with a different company.
  2. Comprehensive Insurance: What happens if a heating technician makes a mistake while working on your boiler and floods your home? Do you know who pays medical bills if that same person hurts themselves on your property? These two scenarios are why it’s vital that your chosen heating company carries up-to-date insurance. This is something we provide to ensure your peace of mind.
  3. Glowing Reviews: Check out a contractor's online review profiles. What do former clients say about them? Do you know anyone who has used them before? If so, ask if they’d refer them for heating repair or installation work in Runnemede. If they have a few negative reviews, don’t write them off. What matters most is how they handled the situation and if they responded in a professional, caring manner.
  4. Experience and Expertise: When it comes to heating service in Barrington or Runnemede, experience should top your list of requirements. The more years of experience an HVAC contractor or company has, the better able they are to quickly pinpoint what’s wrong with your heating system. They also tend to be more adaptable and come carrying the right equipment and parts.
  5. Warranties and Guarantees: Things can go wrong with even the newest heating or cooling system. How it's installed can be the cause. That’s why it’s vital to choose a heating company with a comprehensive warranty and guarantee policy. At minimum, your satisfaction should be acknowledged.
  6. Special Offers and Rebates: Check out what kinds of deals the company is offering. Does it align with your current heating needs? If so, print off the coupons and keep them on hand. You can check out our special offers page for discounts.
    7.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Really Need Furnace Maintenance in Runnemede?

We suggest having your heater or furnace examined on a regular basis. A lot of heating failures occur because this vital part of homeownership is ignored in favor of a ‘fingers-crossed’ approach. During your inspection, our HVAC expert will look for signs of damage. They will also clean any dust away and test electrical components. From improved efficiency to manufacturer warranty requirements, there’s few better ways to protect your heating system. You can reach out to us at 856.939.4299 to schedule your furnace tune-up in Runnemede.

A key part of maintaining your heating system’s performance and efficiency is regularly changing the air filter. If you have a standard 1-inch filter, changing it once-a-month is advised. For 4-inch filters, meanwhile, manufacturers recommend waiting six to nine months between replacement. If you have shedding pets in your household, check more frequently. The best way to tell if it’s time for a new one is to look at it. If it’s more gray than white, it’s likely time to swap it out.

Our heating experts work with all brands of HVAC equipment including Coleman, Carrier, Bryant, Payne, Trane, Lennox, Rheem,Ruud, Amana, Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Frigidaire, Gibson, Goodman, Maytag, Weil McLain, American Standard, General, and Dynamic.

  • Is power getting to your furnace or heater? Is a fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Make sure your power switch is in the ON position.
  • When was the last time you swapped out your filter? If it’s been a while, try installing a new filter first. This can solve a lot of heating problems.
  • Verify your thermostat is set to “heat” and not “cool”. If you notice the display is dim, try swapping out the batteries on the back of the unit.
  • Is there snow or other debris blocking your outdoor vent? If so, remove the obstruction. This will allow your system to work more effectively.

If you still don’t have heat, it’s time to contact Runnemede’s favorite furnace repair experts at 856.939.4299.

Your home's heating and AC expenses are one of the biggest contributors to utility costs in Runnemede and Barrington area. You can help lower it by changing your filter and completing your required maintenance. Alternatively, you can turn your thermostat down to 68°F instead of 70°F or 72°F (20°C instead of 21°C or 22°C). To save the most money, however, consider installing a new furnace. As technology advances, furnaces have become more fuel-efficient.

The cost of a furnace installation is dependent on several factors including the type of furnace being installed, how much extra work is involved, and how large of a furnace you’ve chosen. Your home may also have two units which may raise the cost of a furnace replacement in Runnemede.
